Just purchase a good quality set of toiletry containers from a drugstore (make sure not to skimp on quality, or you’ll end up with a mess when you arrive at your destination!).

Caused by the electrical charge generated by the friction of dry hair against fabric, you can reduce static by adding moisture to your locks with a leave-in conditioner or styling cream like Frederic Fekkai Advanced Essential Shea Tame and Style Creme.
